Description Mingye Wang 2015-11-10 03:28:46 UTC 
Some awful mixups happened with the translation teams page. This might be rather a bugzilla component division problem though.

1. zh_CN team bugzilla link points to inexist component 'Chinese (China) [zh_CN]' instead of 'Chinese (Simplified) [zh_CN]'. Some years-old bugs are still there being NEW, and I guess few people have seen them…
2. zh_HK/TW (zh_Hant) team should have two bugzilla components, but we only got one 'Chinese (Hong Kong) [zh_HK]', omitting the 'Chinese (Traditional) [zh_TW]' component.

Bugreport link errors stops users from telling the translators about the bugs, and it also stops translators from looking for existing bugs to solve.
Comment 1 Mingye Wang 2015-11-10 03:30:32 UTC 
Uh-oh, it looks like the zh traditional team is called zh_trad instead of zh_Hant. A super nonstandard name…
Comment 2 Star Brilliant 2015-11-16 13:05:43 UTC 
There are many variations of Chinese, so I put information here for reference.

zh_CN: Chinese (People's Republic of China)
zh_TW: Chinese (Taiwan)
zh_HK: Chinese (Hong Kong)
zh_MO: Chinese (Macau)
zh_SG: Chinese (Singapore)

Also there are some "general names":

zh_hans: Chinese (Simplified), includes zh_CN and zh_SG
zh_hant: Chinese (Traditional), includes zh_TW, zh_HK and zh_MO

If we have plenty of translators, we can provide 5 versions of translation.

But if we lack translators, we can provide only zh_hans and zh_hant, and map others to these two.

There are two obsolete names: zh_simp == zh_hans, zh_trad == zh_hant.
They still exist in Gnome translation codebase, which needs updating.

starbrilliant, I believe bug 757896 is where you meant to put these info to..
Comment 4 Mingye Wang 2016-01-18 05:26:55 UTC 
Increasing importance as there are a bunch of zh_* bugs lying around…
